Staff still feels one is better than two, but Kimley Horn feels <br />confident this can be done without a problem on the U.S.I <br />corridor. <br />Commissioner Bird asked why the Transportation Planning <br />Committee would not take a stand on this, and Commissioner <br />Scurlock reported that they took the position that the project <br />was of such a large size it should be considered as part of the <br />total rather than considered separately. He had been under the <br />impression that we had the right-of-way already, but later it <br />became clear that we did not. <br />Director Davis advised that Lindsey Road is designated as a <br />secondary collector and the main impetus of including that link <br />was to serve the abutting properties 1/4 mile north and 1/4 mile <br />south. This project encompasses most of the land between U.S.I <br />and the Boulevard; so, by taking all that land and bringing it <br />internally into the project, you are almost deleting the need for <br />that secondary collector link. In addition, you have 53rd St, as <br />a primary collector to the north and the North Gifford Road <br />corridor to the south. The Lindsey Road corridor is not that <br />important in the system. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird., SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously <br />agreed to amend the Transporation Element of <br />the Comprehensive by deleting 49th Street <br />between Indian River Boulevard and U.S.I from <br />the County's Thoroughfare Plan; this change to <br />be incorporated in Ordinance 85-88 adopted <br />earlier. <br />87 <br />j i • <br />62 FticF 546 <br />
